Marketing for Artists
This session is devoted to identifying the right audience for
your artistic output, positioning yourself (including how you
price your work) and then developing marketing strategies and
a marketing plan geared for that audience. Understanding the
rules of the game of self-promotion will help you.

Legal Considerations for Artists
From protecting your intellectual property to choosing a
legal form for your artistic business, an understanding of
underlying legal principles will help you make smarter
choices. This session centers on information about
copyrights and contract basics regarding selling and
licensing your work, as well as getting into business.

Recordkeeping and Financial Management for Artists
How does your actual income compare with your desired income?
If working with numbers drives you crazy, we have clear, simple
methods for setting up your financial books. Learn how Budgets
and Cash Flow Statements help you plan for profit (it isn’t just
whatever is left at the end). Making accurate projections about
what to expect allows you to plan for it and to prosper.
